Instructions

First, break the coconut carefully. Pour the coconut juice into a small bowl.

Next, remove the meat from the coconut shell. Grate the coconut meat into long, thin pieces. Ensure that you grate along the coconut meat rather than across it. If you do the latter, the coconut will not come out in long, thin pieces.

Pour the coconut juice (coconut water) into the small pot.

Pour the icing sugar into the pan containing the grated coconut flesh. Stir it until the sugar melts totally.

Pour the grated coconut flesh into the pot containing the melted sugar solution.
